    COME GATHER ROUND ME, PARNELLITES

    COME gather round me, Parnellites,


    And praise our chosen man;
    Stand upright on your legs awhile,
    Stand upright while you can,
    For soon we lie where he is laid,
    And he is underground;
    Come fill up all those glasses
    And pass the bottle round.

    And here's a cogent reason,


    And I have many more,
    He fought the might of England
    And saved the Irish poor,
    Whatever good a farmer's got
    He brought it all to pass;
    And here's another reason,
    That parnell loved a lass.

    And here's a final reason,


    He was of such a kind
    Every man that sings a song
    Keeps Parnell in his mind.
    For Parnell was a proud man,
    No prouder trod the ground,
    And a proud man's a lovely man,
    So pass the bottle round.

    The Bishops and the party


    That tragic story made,
    A husband that had sold hiS wife
    And after that betrayed;
    But stories that live longest
    Are sung above the glass,
    And Parnell loved his countrey
    And parnell loved his lass.
